A privacy fence serves a practical purpose, but it can also add some dramatic curb appeal if you choose an attractive material and dress it up. Try these strategies to transform your fenced yard’s ambiance.

How to Make Your Privacy Fence More Beautiful

1. Add a Flower Bed

A flower bed creates a natural transition between your yard and its fence. Add some low shrubs or colorful flowers. You can even plant trees if you want more privacy. For example, if your next-door neighbor has a second-floor window overlooking your backyard, plant a tree to grow up in front of that window.

2. Grow Vines

Greenery adds interest, color, and texture to a fence and makes your yard feel more natural. Vines are a popular choice to spruce up privacy fences since they’ll crawl up the slats and obscure the view into your yard. Install some wooden lattices or pergola toppers to support the vines. Keep in mind that if you choose flowering plants, they will add beauty and color but also attract bees.

3. Adorn with a Window

A privacy fence doesn’t just have to be a solid block of fencing materials. Break up the fence by adding a decorative window hole, which you can fill with a mirror to reflect the garden. Otherwise, you can place a decorative flower box inside to block the view while extending your garden’s reach.
